Yes of course, as does physical stimulation. Is this a new revelation to you?

I think it's always been a theory, and a bit of a controversial one at best. Perhaps this one is more conclusive.

If it was so obvious to everyone else as it is to you then why do you suppose they did this study?
And IMO it's not much of a study to draw real conclusions.
The randomized, placebo-controlled study, Familiar Auditory Sensory Training (FAST), enrolled 15 patients with traumatic closed head injuries who were in a vegetative or minimally conscious state. They were an average age of 35 (12 men and three women) with injuries caused by motorcycle or car accidents, bomb traumas or assaults. The FAST treatment began an average of 70 days after the injury.

In a placebo controlled study they would HAVE to have 15 patients who were NOT subjected to repeated stories by familiar stories by family members.
I'm not sure they did that? If they did they didn't say so. They didn't say the control group ALL stayed the same or if ANY improved.
And the amount of subjects in the study determines the accuracy of the results.15 patients doesn't seem to be anywhere near enough to me.

Oh I don't know, 15 could be adequate. I once went back to chat with 5 lady-friends and asked each if I was REALLY that lousy at sex.
OH YEAH!, they all agreed. But all agreed I played a wicked game of Monopoly and knew all the good pizza places.

Can you ever stay on subject? And I don't want to hear about the sexual exploits, real or imagined, of an old man.

Sexual EXPLOITS? The intended humor suggested anything but that. The subject was already burning out. Go take your meds and be well.
